WOODSTOCK, GA, January 13, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Wanda Jewel Knight has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Most recently serving as the director of sales at Dell Technologies from 2018 to 2025, Ms. Knight has led a distinguished career of nearly three decades in technology sales. In her leadership role, she demonstrated exceptional skill in building and maintaining customer relationships, expanding into new markets and generating multimillion-dollar revenues. Her tenure was marked by her nomination as Regional Sales Director of the Year in 2019, for which she received a plaque from founder and chief executive officer Michael Dell as a testament to her outstanding contributions and leadership within the organization.

Prior to joining Dell Technologies, Ms. Knight excelled as a client executive at the information technology consulting firm World Wide Technology from 2017 to 2018. During this period, she leveraged her expertise to foster key client partnerships and drive business growth. Her ability to adapt to evolving market demands was further demonstrated during her time as a sales director at InfoArmor (now Allstate Identity Protection), where she led strategic initiatives that expanded the company's market presence.

From 2013 to 2015, Ms. Knight served as the area sales manager of alliances at Absolute Software. In this position, she managed critical alliances with companies such as Dell and Hewlett-Packard (HP) and developed collaborative strategies that enhanced security solutions for global accounts.

In her initial tenure at Dell, Ms. Knight was a sales director for the West Region from 2002 to 2013, during which she supported career development for the account executive team and drove collaborative efforts both internally and externally to advance the company's long-term vision.

Ms. Knight began her career as the global sales manager of services at Cisco Systems from 1997 to 2002. Expanding the company's professional services by 15% year on year, she gained valuable early experience in managing international accounts and delivering innovative service solutions on a global scale.

Hailing from an equally accomplished academic background, Ms. Knight earned a Master of Business Administration in information technology management from Pepperdine Graziadio Business School in 2001, equipping her with advanced knowledge that proved vital throughout her career. She also holds a Bachelor of Business Administration in finance and information systems from the College of Business Administration at Loyola Marymount University. Her initial focus on finance and accounting reflected an early ambition to work on Wall Street; however, following the Wall Street crash at the time, she pivoted into the technology sector — a decision that shaped her future success and highlighted her adaptability.

To augment her credentials, Ms. Knight earned a certificate in executive leadership from Pepperdine Graziadio Business School in 2001 as well as a certificate in global business management from University of Oxford in 1998. She is also a dedicated member of Women in Technology, reflecting her commitment to advancing diversity and inclusion within the industry.
Reflecting on her storied journey to date, Ms. Knight attributes her success to staying grounded and focused while paying close attention to the needs of others — a selfless approach that has enabled her to support colleagues and clients effectively across diverse environments.

Civic engagement is a central part of Ms. Knight's life. She served as vice president of sponsorships for the San Francisco Chapter of the National Sales Network from 2017 to 2018, supporting professional development initiatives within the sales community. Additionally, she is an active supporter of breast cancer initiatives and has participated in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. Her volunteer efforts extend to food kitchens, charity work for seniors, mock interviews for individuals with disabilities, support for fire department foundations and participation in the New York Fire Department's Foundation Dinner.

Ms. Knight's accomplishments have seen her recognized through several accolades, including being named one of the Top 10 Influential Women To Look Out For in 2025. Her remarkable path to becoming a technology leader has been featured in publications and magazines such as LA Lifestyle Magazine, Velvet Fame, Daily Front Row and Elite Weekly Magazine.

In her personal life, Ms. Knight is an avid traveler who credits her journeys with helping her understand how to approach different cultures professionally. She enjoys cooking, is an enthusiastic Formula 1 fan and loves going to the beach and sailing. Recently invited to Halifax Fashion Week, she wrote an article covering designers and their work that was featured at the event.

Now enjoying the retired life after many years of service in the technology sector, Ms. Knight is fully committed to expanding the reach of her charity work around the world. She remains actively involved in making a positive impact through hands-on engagement with charitable causes globally, continuing her longstanding legacy of helping others through everything she does.
